If you are a folk and country fan, get ready for some fishin' in the dark in Shippensburg as the Luhrs Center will host a performance by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Oct. 5

The group is known for hits including "Mr. Bojangles," "Dance Little Jean" and "Workin' Man," as well as roles in the Old West musical "Paint Your Wagon" and as the backing band for Steve Martin's famous "King Tut" song on Saturday Night Live.

But the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was also instrumental in the roots music revival, and they've earned several Grammy Awards in the four decades since their inception. Their 1972 album "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" has been included in the Library of Congress for its cultural and historical significance. As far as acclaim goes, it doesn't get much better than that.
